I would buy them. I would send them again and again. . . spread Joni Inspiration. I would even like a clear window sticker (like a bumper sticker) that simply says Joni Mitchell , maybe in her handwriting. . or anything I could get. Cards would be lovely. Marianne Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2005 15:31:33 -0800 From: Lindsay Moon Subject: Joni Art Cards >See what you think of this. I was recently in an upscale card shop where they had lovely cards such as black and white 1950's Vogue fashion shoots with info on the photographer, model, dress designer, etc. on the back. A nice idea and a little fashion history lesson about things maybe forgotten. Here's my idea: blank cards with Joni's art (album covers) on them, a nice boxed set of assorted cards, maybe the cover of C&S, the inside fold of FTR, the cover of Blue, her still lifes, etc., etc. They would be square, like an album or CD. They could each have a little blurb on the back with the year of the album, a little history of it, maybe a short quote from Joni. Printed on beautiful paper. They are beautiful art already. They would be a lovely gift in a nice box tied with some grosgrain ribbon. Maybe the box is copper colored and the ribbon is turquoise like the colors of Paprika Plains. They would be easy as pie to produce since the artwork already exists. She could give the proceeds to charity if she wanted. It's probably too commercial an idea for her (and we must not let the evil Hallmark people produce them!) but, heck, I'm not talking about keychains (yet.)

Joni was!! http://www.eurweb.com/story.cfm?id=19194 HANGIN' 'TIL DAWN WITH THE PURPLE ONE: Prince's '3121' Oscar party March 3, 2005 My headlights beam back a purple blaze of two symbols adorned upon the black gates. This is the way to 3121 . Up the long driveway to a royal white mansion. A valet graciously opens my door. I had not attended the Oscars but suddenly felt like a star transformed on the 10 feet of purple carpet that went up the stairs towards his 20 foot tall glass doors. This is the story of two solid nites that felt like one huge experimental historic jam. If I had the nerve to talk to Prince, I would -- just to ask what kind of vitamins he takes to throw a party, jam until 6 am. Get up, go to the Oscars, jam until 7 am. Normally, I would name drop every celebrity there; but I prefer to conjure up the moment (right before Pam Anderson spilled her drink on me) that left me energized and exhausted, exhilarated and delirious. A witnessing of raw passion of unequivocal talent that tasted so sweet, so dang good, it was THE moment captured at '3121.' And it had nothing to do with Oscar host, Chris Rock trading political commentary with Spike Lee nor good-looking couple Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe hobnobbing with Clive Owen and Chris Tucker . A perfectly synchronized Asian vibe complemented the mood. Food -- delectable. At 3 a.m. the house band walked in. Behind them, lavender lights punctuated by a beautifully lit, now infamous symbol floating above the steamy pool set the tone. (The backyard can be viewed by the "invisible" glass wall - -- providing an amazing backdrop for what was to come.) The band started to jam. Lead vocalist, Ashley, belted out some classics while Frank's keys began to percolate. Halfway through the set -- a flash of gold to my left caught my eye. I paid no mind, thinking it was just Christina Aguliera's hair or perhaps Maroon 5's collective beaming faces. Didn't matter... I was getting into a comfortable 2-step when the earth shifted. The energy changed. Everyone around me leaned in. The music got FONKIER. I looked around ... the chef, the waitresses, the ENTIRE STAFF all stopped working and straight up started GROOVING! I thought I was in a reproduction of "CARWASH"! I knew Jeff Gordon was in the house, but he was walking, not driving. I stepped up a few feet and saw the housequake in the flesh crack the floor in two! PRINCE was SIMULTANEOUSLY playing keyboards and guitar in the middle of Stevie Wonder's "I Wish." My mouth fell open and my drink nearly fell out of my hand into Cedric the Entertainer's lap. I saw folks run and grab their people in order to witness the incredible sight. The man was on FI-YAH! The windows were smoldering. Regina King's gold lame dress was curling up. It was so hot in there the devil was 'fraid to set foot. Cora, the drummer -- broke it down so hard, she popped the skins back on the little piggy's belly it came from. Prince in his beautiful gold mandarin collared outfit was having such a blast, I elbowed Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz out of the way for a closer look. I'm no stalker but after his searing guitar solo in "Whole Lotta Love", adding a lethal cocktail of funk to "Rock Steady", reinventing Michael J's "Don't Stop till You get Enough" -- well, I had to stare because no less than two feet in front of me was a Rock Star causing an eclipse in his own living room. Suddenly in the middle of dancing and playing he flipped us a synchopated groove that I can only compare to... well.. to nothing I've ever heard before: "Thru the gates.. Leave Ur clothes on the floor... Take Ur pick from the Japanese robes and sandals... Don't you wanna come... 3121... Gonna b so much fun... 3121... U can come if U want 2, but U can never leave...". I thought an anthropologist was gonna investigate it was so off the missing-link chain!!! Even reclusive Joni Mitchell couldn't resist shaking her thang while Rachelle Ferrell added a vocal flair that extended the jam into a 24" single. Black Eyed Peas cut in to wrap it up, but they just unraveled it more and allowed Prince to string us along. When I finally peeled myself from the moment, I scanned the room and saw the look of amazement on every face. Jaded celebrities looked like giddy little girls getting their first Barbie. And I don't mean Pam. I was surprised I lived to see past the dawn. 3121. I have a feeling it's just begun. -- a spy on the sly source: Paki Newell / Lippin Group / pnewell@lippingroup __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo!

And it's really quite good. Unfortunately no CD or MP3 yet but I'm working on it. For those who missed it, here are the details again. Yr Awr (The Hour) Ffarwel - 7" E.P Single Tracks are as follows:- Side 1 1.Ffarwel (Lennon/McCartney/John H.Griffiths) 2.Tyrd Yn Ol (Geraint Davies/Lyn & David Williams) Side 2 1.Hyn O Fyd (Joni Mitchell/Abiah Roderick) 2.Canu'n Iach I Ti (Paul Simon/Geraint Davies) - - Release Date 1970 - Wren Records - Cat No. WRE 1088 "This Welsh Folk single was made is 1971, these young ladies (Yr Awr) are very good, They are six pupils who were from Mynyddbach Comprehensive School for Girls, Treboeth, Swansea. They are Lynne Williams (Guitar), Patricia Anderson (Guitar), Elizabeth James, Mair Hughes, Jean Paton and Sharon Vice. All six of these girls were members of a party of eight which won at the Urdd National Eisteddfod in Carmarthen, 1967, and from that time on they worked and sung together. They also appeared on the T.V programme "Disc a Dawn". This is their first single and sing songs composed by the artists above" Ric ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2005 09:29:56 -0800 (PST) From: Em Subject: NJC does Mr. Natural truck alone? does he *want* to? way ot and smarmy NJC "You've got to walk that lonesome valley Well you gotta go by yourself Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you You gotta go there by yourself" Most folks know these lyrics, either from hearing it long ago on their childhood or whatever... either from Elvis, or from someone else. So what I'm wondering...is it true? Does it have to be true? Is it better if it is true? Like even if you are in, say, the most perfect relationship, and are surrounded by lots of friends - is a person still walking their own valley, by themselves? See, I don't know. I've sort of "built" my own life as a valley (tho not so lonesome) which I walk by myself. Thats despite being GF'ed. Then when I got on the internet, say 8(?) years ago, the notion of walking it by myself kind of went away. Cuz on the worldwide web, there's always somebody "there", right? But now, I'm seeing the hollowness of that. Its not that it has no value, or that I'm dimishing it in any way, but I guess I never saw it clearly or put it in an effective perspective. And its hard to know how to bust on through one's way. Like, Onwward Through the Fog...does Mr Natural truck alone? Just wondering if most or any of you feel "solo" in this world and that other people (even SO's) are characters in your play? or are we all in the same damn play? Sorry if this sounds religious. Its not, to me, at all. Its a practical consideration, in a way. But when I see, for instance that the majority of people, for instance, at rush hour in this one part of town, on the cell phone while driving home...it just makes me wonder..is it possible, and desireable, to be never alone? Sorry if I've contradicted myself, or written badly... but certainly Joni touches on this sometimes. or? Em ps feel free to ignore this one.. I know its weird... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2005 10:30:16 -0800 (PST) From: Smurf Subject: Re: NJC does Mr. Natural truck alone? does he *want* to? way ot and smarmy NJC Em asks: << Just wondering if most or any of you feel "solo" in this world and that other people (even SO's) are characters in your play? or are we all in the same damn play? >> I think I have to agree with what all the girls say when they discuss me: For me, it's all about me.

The Joni lyric that popped in my head was: People will tell you where they've gone They'll tell you where to go But till you get there yourself you never really know Where some have found their paradise Others just come to harm And I think it's important to re-evaluate yourself from time to time. And that's a process that you have to do alone. At the same time, the people that you impact along the way and the people that impact you is an amazingly long list. It's like subway rides - we each have distinct detinations, but from time to time we travel together, getting and giving help.

A great big AMEN and a ME TOO to that, Sister Jing! And very oddly enough, it was right here on the Joni Mitchell Discussion List of all places that I learned that the music business in *not* a total cesspool and that the music didn't die when Don McLean said it did. In fact, I believe music is as *alive* as it has ever been at any other time in my life. Add to that fact all the new media and technology that puts the best work of everyone -- including the dear departed or tragically retired -- at our fingertips more and more every day, and I really do think that in many ways one's experience of music can be better than ever. Also -- I really am going to try to work on my aversion to both Dylan and Eminem, but I can't guarantee much success there because I can't stand Dylan's voice and I have lots of problems with some of Eminem's lyrics, but that discussion could go on for days, so let's just drop it. In any case, I know they're both very good writers, now I have to see if they've written anything I'd enjoy listening to ... But this list really has made me aware of the fact that I often need to drop some preconceived ideas about certain genres or artists, or risk denying myself the discovery and enjoyment of whole worlds of great music. When I hear people diss Rufus because they don't like something he did 5 years or more ago, I realize how glad I am that I keep more of an open mind about ALL music these days. But then, it only took me about 25 years to 'get' "Hejira." XO, - --Smurf, who once didn't like "Hejira" because he was an idiot, but then he found the JMDL and everything changed for him, But now he's worried once again because he's noticed that he's begun to refer to himself in the third person and that's can't be a good thing, he thinks. __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday!

Any Hope fans out there? I just got ahold of her 2001 solo debut cd, Bavarian Fruit Bread. Wow. I love it. I absolutely love this disc. Very minimalist, very intimate. Obviously not everyone's cup of tea, but it fits like a glove right now. Give it a look-see if you're wanting for something a little sweet, a little melancholy, lyrical, spacey and intoxicating. Brings out the Irish in me. You can check this out at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005QB7K/qid=1109899630/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/102-7193609-2400949 P.S. And I too loved the Wally and Smurf adventure pics in the big city... let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Joni, Songs Chosen . . . (thought I can't imagine what possessed me to do so) 2. Joni, Artist's Choice 3. Joni STAS--I played my vinyl copy that I bought the day it came out, and, well, it's a little worn out, I'd say. 4. Joni DJRD--wanted to experience it without having to flip over the records 5. Tift Merritt, "Tambourine"--really good, much better than her bland debut album, "Bramble Rose>" 6. Kathleen Edward's new one ( I forget the title), which comes out March 7th. Have listened to it in my Amazon Digital locker (and how did I fit in there, anyway?). The jury's still out on this one. 7. Mary Gauthier's "Mercy"-- very good, a new discovery for me. 8.Direct Stream Digital remaster of "Shoot Out the Lights," Richard and Linda Thompson--the 4th time I've purchased this one: vinyl, cd, new improved cd, and now newly new and improved CD: this latest version does sound great, and I don't have an SACD player either. 9. Buddy Miller, "Universal House of Prayer"--I have never been that big a fan of Buddy and/or Julie, but this disc is great. 10. Elvis Costello, "Delivery Man"--like it, esp. duets with Lucinda and Emmylou, but don't think I love it. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Mar 2005 02:32:15 +0000 From: tinkersown@comcast.net Subject: Chuck Mitchell (Peripheral JC) Dear Joni Friends, When I saw the name "Chuck Mitchell" on the list of registrants for last week's Folk Alliance conference in Montreal, I thought "Could it be?" I'd seen Joni's ex in Atlanta in the 70's and wondered if it could be the same. Well, it was. I went to a showcase he did, and thought I recognised him, but the fact that his second song was The Circle Game was a dead giveaway. :) He is a very interesting performer, weaving poetry and spoken word pieces into the songs, which he often runs together. I was really impressed with how good he was. He's a very affable fellow. We chatted afterwards, and discussed the possibility of him coming out (from Iowa) to play the concert series. Stay tuned. I loved Montreal, BTW. *************************************************** Steve Dulson Costa Mesa CA tinkersown@comcast.net "The Tinker's Own" www.tinkersown.com "The Living Tradition Concert Series" www.thelivingtradition.org "Folk Alliance Region - West" www.far-west.org ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2005 00:39:42 -0300 From: "Wally Kairuz" Subject: RE: Make yourself a montage out of anyone or anything -- NJC really i did john holmes, harry reems and bob murphy but i didn't get any results. i wonder why. > -----Mensaje original----- > De: owner-joni@jmdl.com [mailto:owner-joni@jmdl.com]En nombre de > FMYFL@aol.com > Enviado el: Jueves, 03 de Marzo de 2005 10:24 p.m. > Para: smurfadelica@yahoo.com; joni@smoe.org > Asunto: Re: Make yourself a montage out of anyone or anything -- NJC > really > > > What a funny site Smurph. > > I did Jimmy Stewart and just got a montage of the actor, but when > I put in my > name and the JMDL, I got a pic of my JMDL profile and the photo of Joni I > took for JoniMitchell.com > > Thanks for sharing......I'm going to try some more montage googling! > > Jimmy ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2005 20:07:32 -0800 (PST) From: Smurf Subject: RE: Make yourself a montage out of anyone or anything -- NJC really - --- Wally Kairuz wrote: > i did john holmes, harry reems and bob murphy but i > didn't get any results. > i wonder why. > Wally dear, I am sure I'm not the first one to tell you this, but you're trying to fit way too many men in one montage. - --Smurf __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday!
